The City of Cambridge has published a new open data set and accompanying map with information about all sustainable, or "green", buildings in the city.  

Over 100 Cambridge buildings have been designated as sustainable or "green", buildings. These structures have received formal third party designation as sustainable from an internationally recognized certification system, met equivalent local Article 22 development requirements, or both.  The listing includes all buildings meeting one or more of these criteria:

• Approval under the City’s Article 22 Green Building requirements found in the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance
• Certification by the Passive House program
• Certification by Enterprise Green Communities
• Certification under a USGBC LEED standard that requires the whole building to meet sustainability standards.
